Raspberry Pi 2 - Wrong wifi drivers loaded
Hello,
I have a problem with my edimax Realtek RTL8188CUS wifi adapter. On my laptop with kali-linux 2.0 and kali-linux 1.1.0 installed I can simply switch into monitor mode with airmon-ng. On my raspberry pi 2 with kali-linux 2.0 installed I am not able to activate the monitor mode. The normal managed mode works on all systems and I am able to connect to wifi access points.

The dmesg output shows, that on my laptop the wifi adapter is listed as rtl819cu and the firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw_TMSC.bin is loaded. On my pi the adapter is mostly listed just as usb-1.1.3 and the special firmware is not loaded. I checked the /lib/firmware/ folder and the rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw_TMSC.bin firmware file is present on the pi too, but the pi won't load it. Due to this fact airmon-ng won't find the phy interface on the pi.
So now I need my pi to recognize the wifi adapter and load the real firmware, but I couldn't find anything on the internet.
